Westish College, een kleine universiteit aan de oever van Lake Michigan. De jonge, getalenteerde honkballer Henry Skrimshander is voorbestemd om een ster te worden. Maar wanneer tijdens een wedstrijd een routineworp van zijn hand verkeerd uitvalt, nemen vijf levens een andere wending. Henry's groeiende gebrek aan zelfvertrouwen lijkt zijn veelbelovende toekomst te ruïneren. Het hoofd van de universiteit, de eeuwige vrijgezel Guert Affenlight, wordt onverwacht verliefd. Owen Dunne, Henry's homoseksuele kamergenoot, raakt verwikkeld in een gevaarlijke affaire. Mike Schwartz, de aanvoerder van het honkbalteam en Henry's beste vriend, beseft dat zijn carrière in gevaar komt als hij Henry blijft steunen. En Pella Affenlight, Guerts dochter, keert na een mislukt huwelijk terug naar Westish, vastberaden een nieuw leven te beginnen. Tijdens het honkbalseizoen ontstaan nieuwe relaties tussen deze vijf onvergetelijke personages die elkaar uiteindelijk helpen hun weg te vinden. De kunst van het veldspel is een intelligente, warme roman over ambitie, familie, vriendschap en liefde en is de gedroomde entree van een groot schrijver.

At Westish College, a small school on the shore of Lake Michigan, baseball star Henry Skrimshander seems destined for big league stardom. But when a routine throw goes disastrously off course, the fates of five people are upended. Henry's fight against self-doubt threatens to ruin his future. College president Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love. Owen Dunne, Henry's gay roommate and teammate, becomes caught up in a dangerous affair. Mike Schwartz, the Harpooners' team captain and Henry's best friend, realizes he has guided Henry's career at the expense of his own. And Pella Affenlight, Guert's daughter, returns to Westish after escaping an ill-fated marriage, determined to start a new life. As the season counts down to its climactic final game, these five are forced to confront their deepest hopes, anxieties, and secrets. In the process they forge new bonds, and help one another find their true paths. Written with boundless intelligence and filled with the tenderness of youth, The Art of Fielding is an expansive, warmhearted novel about ambition and its limits, about family and friendship and love, and about commitment--to oneself and to others.

Een subtiele en gevoelige roman over liefde, schaamte en identiteit - voor de liefhebbers van De kunst van het veldspel van Chad Harbach Tom heeft altijd geweten wat hij wilde worden: een succesvolle voetballer. Een man om naar op te kijken. Maar na een veelbelovend begin van zijn carrière speelt hij op zijn negentiende voor een kleine club in een stadje waar hij niet eerder van had gehoord. Op zoek naar erkenning biedt een onverwachte en opwindende ontmoeting hem de mogelijkheid om verder te komen. Tom wordt gedwongen te onderzoeken of zijn onderdrukte gevoelens zijn dromen van succes op het veld niet in de weg staan. Een natuurtalent beschrijft het leven bij een professionele voetbalclub: de druk, de eenzaamheid, de kans op een schandaal, de kwetsbaarheid van het lichaam en de strijd, op en buiten het veld, en de opofferingen die moeten worden gedaan om aan het beeld dat er van je bestaat te voldoen.

Quando arriva al Westish College, sulle sponde del lago Michigan, Henry Skrimshander è un ragazzo gracile e spaesato, certo soltanto della propria inadeguatezza. Ma sul campo da baseball si trasforma, e un istinto infallibile lo guida in gesti di una grazia assoluta. Mike Schwartz, il suo mentore e migliore amico, ripone in lui tutte le sue speranze di ragazzone stempiato dal cuore grande e dal futuro incerto, mentre Owen Dunne, il compagno di stanza gay e mulatto, lo confonde con l'inarrivabile spigliatezza dei modi e i lapidari giudizi in fatto di letteratura e blue jeans. Poi c'è Guert Affenlight, il rettore che a sessant'anni ha ceduto alla forza di un sentimento inconfessabile, e adesso lotta felice e sgomento per non soccombere alla marea delle proprie emozioni impazzite. Sua figlia Pella sta per tornare in città con una vecchia borsa di vimini e un matrimonio fallito alle spalle, precoce e irrequieta come il giorno in cui se ne andò. Ma al Westish, tra drammi che incombono e amori incipienti, tutto sta per cambiare. E ciascuno, che lo voglia o no, sarà costretto a fare i conti con quella cosa luminosa e terribile che chiamiamo vita. Acclamato, premiato, segnalato come miglior libro dell'anno da oltre trenta prestigiose testate, bestseller in USA, Inghilterra e Olanda, L'arte di vivere in difesa ha consacrato il suo autore capofila di una nuova generazione di narratori americani. Con la naturalezza dei grandi, Chad Harbach regala al lettore il piacere puro di una storia avvolgente, appassionante, che risplende di intelligenza e di umanità.

Writers write—but what do they do for money? In a widely read essay entitled "MFA vs NYC," bestselling novelist Chad Harbach (The Art of Fielding) argued that the American literary scene has split into two cultures: New York publishing versus university MFA programs. This book brings together established writers, MFA professors and students, and New York editors, publicists, and agents to talk about these overlapping worlds, and the ways writers make (or fail to make) a living within them. Should you seek an advanced degree, or will workshops smother your style? Do you need to move to New York, or will the high cost of living undo you? What's worse—having a day job or not having health insurance? How do agents decide what to represent? Will Big Publishing survive? How has the rise of MFA programs affected American fiction? The expert contributors, including George Saunders, Elif Batuman, and Fredric Jameson, consider all these questions and more, with humor and rigor. MFA vs NYC is a must-read for aspiring writers, and for anyone interested in the present and future of American letters.

Lenore Doolan, a food writer for the New York Times, meets Harold Morris, a photographer, at a halloween party in 2002. He is dressed as Harry Houdini. In Leanne Shapton's marvellously inventive and invented auction catalogue, the 325 lots up for auction are what remain from the relationship between Lenore and Harold (who aren't real people, but might as well be). Through photographs of the couple's personal effects-the usual auction items (jewellery, fine art, and rare furniture) and the seemingly worthless (pyjamas, Post-it notes, worn paperbacks)-the story of a failed love affair vividly and cleverly emerges. From first meeting to final separation, the progress and rituals of intimacy are revealed through the couple's accumulated relics and memorabilia. And a love story, in all its tenderness and struggle, emerges from the evidence that has been left behind, laid out for us to appraise and appreciate. In Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris Leanne Shapton invites us to contemplate what is truly valuable, and to consider the art we make of our private lives.

Allen Iverson transcended race, celebrity, and pop culture and emerged from a troubled past to become one of the most successful and highly compensated athletes in the world. Babb examines what drove his successes and failures, getting behind the familiar, sanitized, and heroic version of Iverson-- the hard-charging, hard-partying athlete who played every game as if it were his last. He brings to life a private, loyal, and often generous Allen Iverson who rarely made the headlines, revealing the back story behind some of Iverson's most memorable moments, and delves deep to discover where Iverson's demons lurked. Over time, Iverson himself came to believe his own hype: that he lived in a world where celebrity is eternal and riches are everlasting.
